My comment was not a claim that certain things can't be done. I was requesting that you share your story of how fun it was to do certain things. Talk about how many technology dependancies you relied on. Talk about how differences in box model rendering across browsers, their versions and OS's consumed development time in hacking CSS. Let us know how easy it was to create bullet proof reusable sub-classes with public and private variables and custom events in javascript. List how many libraries you had to cram in to require.js. How simple was it to handle display lists and hit tracking in <canvas>? Mainly I want to hear about how all that overhead makes sense when it's all available out of the box with as3.
I was also stating that a success should include looking and running the same in all browsers and to a certain extent, mobile devices. Get a media experience/game using DRM video with alpha channels, streaming and cached audio, perlin noise filters, 3d physics & lighting running more than 24fps in IE7 and I'll be the one who's impressed.
I'm not saying it can't done, I'm saying its reinventing the wheel with more parts for no good reason.
